Empowering Children Through Music
One Note at a Time
Research confirms that a musical education improves academic success — it literally changes the brain by enhancing cognitive development.
We also know that students who learn music develop important qualities including persistence, motivation, concentration and the ability to successfully work alone or as part of a group.
Bravo Waukegan actively supports students of the Waukegan public schools by partnering with the fine arts administration to fund opportunities to grow through music. Bravo provides resources for supervised, creative programs that take place in school, after school and during the summer.
